Nestled in the picturesque Ashburton area of Devon, this charming accommodation offers a serene retreat for up to three guests. Set within a secluded landscape characterized by lush greenery and a gentle stream, the location epitomizes the tranquil essence of rural Devon. The property features a wood-fired hot tub available for an additional fee, providing guests the option to indulge in relaxation amidst the stunning countryside. The space is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, combining rustic charm with modern comforts to create an inspiring atmosphere for creativity and peace.
The hut operates off-grid, allowing guests to experience a simpler way of living closely connected to nature. While this means that electricity may be limited and occasionally inconsistent due to environmental factors, the hut is equipped with essential amenities including light, charging plugs, and hot water. Guests are reminded to avoid high-power appliances and to follow specific instructions for managing the power system. The use of natural materials and non-toxic cleaning products further enhances the eco-friendly aspect of the stay, encouraging an appreciation for sustainable living.
Families with children are welcomed, although parents are advised to supervise their kids due to the presence of farm animals and potentially hazardous areas. Dogs are permitted but should be kept on leads, with owners responsible for cleaning up after them. Guests can enjoy the privacy of the area, with only occasional disturbances from passersby on the bridleway or local pheasant shooting, which is conducted minimally and distanced from the hut. Additionally, there are opportunities for guests to forage for snacks or herbs from the garden, enriching the experience with a touch of local flavor.
Access to the hut can be challenging due to a bumpy track, but arrangements can be made for transportation via a 4X4 vehicle owned by the farm. Guests are encouraged to leave their cars in the farmyard and walk the short distance to the hut, or drive across the flat field when conditions permit. For those interested in local produce, a nearby farm shop is recommended. The surrounding area also boasts various attractions, including cultural sites and outdoor activities, ensuring that guests have a wealth of options to explore during their stay.
